The simple answer is bodily fluid exchange whether by sex or blood transfusion with tainted blood. I am relatively sure that some dentists got it from patients but but in those cases blood not saliva was the culprit . There have been cases of health care workers coming down with HIV but they were working with spinal fluid and brain fluid. It is most present in blood, vaginal fluid, semen, and the ones I already mentioned. There have been reports of people coming down with it after deep french kissing however in all of these cases gum bleeding was a factor. HIV is not present enough in saliva for the virus to be transmitted and it cannot live outside the body very long. So you cannot get it from a toilet seat or any other topical type contact like hugs or touching.

Can you get aids from sharing a cigarette with an infected person?

The only way to spread HIV/AIDS is by transferring blood from one person to another. And various tests have proven that HIV/AIDS cannot be spread through saliva. So the only way this is possible is if the smoker was bleeding, and there was blood on the cigarette afterwards, and the person who then took the cigarette was also bleeding.are you sureAssuming saliva only on the cigarette, it is not possible to transmit HIV via cigarette sharing.You will not catch HIV from smoking cigarettes or marijuana.No. Not even kissing will result in infectionYes, if the person smoking the cigarette has HIV. However, there would not be enough of the virus from the saliva in the cigarette butt to pass on an infection.no hiv virus cannot be present in a cigarette as saliva doesn't carry hiv virus.
